This is a presention of different methods of archaeology and archaeometry (palynology, dendrochronology, geomorphology) to date and understand the function of this wooden and stone route infrastructure in a wet deep soil environment. This route is probably from the High Middle Age time with a modification dendrodated at the beginning of the 9th century. the descovery of a old wooden car is also described. [less ▲]

Various types of peatlands are present in Wallony: raised bogs, oligotrophic and rich fens, wet heaths, marshy woodlands. Many areas have been degraded by past and recent human activities. Much attention is now devoted to their protection, scientific study and ecological management. Besides their exceptional biological and ecological interest, they are among the last natural spaces in a very urbanised country like Belgium. [less ▲]
